| azide-resistant mutants of azorhizobium caulinodans with enhanced symbiotic effectiveness. | azide-resistant mutants of azorhizobium caulinodans strains sb3, s78, srr13 and srs8 were isolated and screened for nitrate reductase activity. selected nitrate reductase negative mutants were inoculated on sesbania bispinosa and s. rostrata under sterile conditions in chillum jars to study their symbiotic behavior. azide-resistant mutants exhibited either similar or higher symbiotic effectiveness than the parent strain after 30 d of plant growth. nodule mass, nitrogenase activity and uptake hyd ... | 2001 | 11702406 |
| bioactive compounds extracted from indian wild legume seeds: antioxidant and type ii diabetes-related enzyme inhibition properties. | seven different wild legume seeds (acacia leucophloea, bauhinia variegata, canavalia gladiata, entada scandens, mucuna pruriens, sesbania bispinosa and tamarindus indica) from various parts of india were analyzed for total free phenolics, l-dopa (l-3,4 dihydroxyphenylalanine), phytic acid and their antioxidant capacity (ferric-reducing antioxidant power [frap] and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl [dpph] assay) and type ii diabetes-related enzyme inhibition activitiy (α-amylase). s. bispinosa had th ... | 2011 | 21970446 |
| enzymatic and chemical oxidation of polygalactomannans from the seeds of a few species of leguminous plants and characterization of the oxidized products. | plant polysaccharides are used in a growing number of applications, in their native or in chemically and/or biochemically modified forms. in the present work, we compare tempo-mediated oxidation with laccase of polygalactomannans (pgm) from different species of plant leguminous to chemical oxidation with naclo/nabr/tempo. we have investigated the gums from: locust bean (ceratonia siliqua), tara (caesalpinia spinosa), guar (cyamopsis tetragonolobus), sesbania (sesbania bispinosa) and fenugreek (t ... | 2015 | 25677537 |
| characterization of cadmium-resistant bacteria for its potential in promoting plant growth and cadmium accumulation in sesbania bispinosa root. | the cadmium (cd) resistant bacteria were isolated from soils of damanganga river, vapi, and identified 11 potential cd resistant bacteria based on 16s rdna sequences. the cd resistant bacteria belonged to four different genera: providencia spp., morganella sp., stenotrophomonas sp., and bacillus spp. the assessment of plant growth-promoting (pgp) parameters revealed that the cd tolerant bacteria showed one or more pgp properties. further, a pot experiment was conducted to elucidate the effects o ... | 2016 | 27185302 |
